new enough, long enough. The hook was not supported by the test in the article but is in the source. I added the word "posthumously" to help it all to match.Thelmadatter (talk) 15:01, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
I am pulling this from the queue because parts of this article are a copyvio from this source. Gatoclass (talk) 06:28, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

- I would also like to point out to the original reviewer that the hook must be supported in the text of the article to be acceptable in DYK. It is insufficient for the information to be in a source; if the fact is not in the article, then it is not eligible for use in a DYK hook. I have accordingly struck the hook; a new hook must be created, or the relevant facts added to the article. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:37, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
- That's rather cold. Better to yell at the nominator than help him/her out? The issue was small, just that it was awarded after his death. Since the source stated such, I fixed the article. That's what we Wikipedians are supposed to do. However, I agree with the copyvio issue.Thelmadatter (talk) 14:49, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
